Let me just say, that I am already using recursive-edit and use M-C-c
to exit.

But the problem is there that relates to reliability that I do not
know how to solve.

As if I am in recursive-edit in one window, then I wish maybe to open
up other window, for exampel ansi-term and mutt inside, and in that
window I am opening emacsclint too. In this moment my recursive-edit
from first window is broken, or dissapers, I cannot get to it.

Maybe it is a bug. Is it? It should not be so logically.

If I would have recursive-edit very reliable I would use it.
